The formidable combination of trainer Jeff Cullipher and owner Pollack Racing that has taken Plainridge Park by storm this year continued to roll over the competition in the waning days of the meet as they posted four more wins, including victories in both feature races on Monday, Nov. 17.

In the $35,211 Open Handicap Pace, Hunting Zone dominated a stellar field of resident pacers.

Hunting Zone and driver Shawn Gray took the lead past the quarter and motored to the half in :54 flat. By the time he got to three-quarters in 1:21.3, Hunting Zone had opened up a five-length gap with only the lone mare in the race, Always Bstunning N (Kevin Switzer Jr.), making up any ground on him as they headed around the last turn. Hunting Zone still had three lengths on Always Bstunning N at the top of the stretch and cruised home far the best in 1:50.4 by 2-3/4 lengths. Heinikin Bythebay (Matthew Athearn) was third.

The in was the 10th of the year for Hunting Zone in 32 starts. The five-year-old gelded son of Huntsville-Smart Zone paid $7.20 to win. 

In the $35,211 Open Handicap Trot, Cullipher started the three-year-old Lefties Righties against a field of older campaigners and came away with the victory nonetheless.

Lefties Righties, also driven by Gray, took control passing the :28.2 quarter and then settled in with fractions of :57.1 to the half and 1:26 at three-quarters, while Platinum AS (Brett Beckwith) followed second in the loose pocket. Lefties Righties took his two-length advantage into the stretch, where Platinum AS vacated the garden spot in pursuit of the leader. Platinum AS made up almost all of those two lengths in the lane, but came up just a nose short at the line to Lefties Righties, who won in 1:55 flat. Memorynimagination (Matthew Athearn) finished in the third spot. 

The win was the seventh win of the year for Lefties Righties in 19 starts. The Greenshoe-Swizzle Sticks gelding paid $8.60 to win. 

The Cullipher/Pollack machine closed out their grand slam with Super Duper Cooper (1:56.4, $6) and Elegant A (1:52.4, $2.80).

This year at Plainridge, Cullipher has made 116 starts, posting 37 wins, 19 seconds and 16 thirds, that give him a .440 UTR for his Massachusetts tenure.  

Gray also had a huge outing on Monday, due in part to his live drives from the Cullipher stable. Besides winning with the already mentioned Hunting Zone, Leftie Righties and Super Duper Cooper, Gray also won with Wickenburg (1:58.3, $8.60) and Storybook Bella (1:56, $4.80), both of which are trained by his wife, Alicia Gray, to close out his five-bagger.

Live harness racing will resume at Plainridge Park on Tuesday, Nov. 18 at 1 p.m.
